❤️BIBLE VERSES OF THE DAY❤️ ISAIAH 53:4-5 ESV Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.

It's amazing how a movie with just a bunch of dudes in a room talking can be so rewatchable

That moment near the end, when Henry Fonda helps the last juror on with his coat...giving him back his dignity. What a MOMENT!

Lee J. Cobb's "not guilty" scene has got to be one of the best bits of acting EVER. Lump in the throat every time!

One of my favorite moments is shunning the racist. No big speech. No moral lecture. No banging the audience over the head with a justice bat. Simply letting the man show himself and the others turning away. So well written, acted, and executed.

EVERY PERSON called to jury duty should see this film. This shows what the original intent of the jury trial system is about. "I would rather see ten guilty men set free than to have one innocent man punished." - John Adams

It's amazing how timeless this movie is.

The moment when all the jurors shun the racist guy is one of the most powerful scenes in this movie. Even the angry father wasn’t having that crap. Given the time period this movie was made, it’s even more remarkable. Just an excellent, timeless movie all around.

The correction of "Doesn't speak good English" still gets me every time!

I am German, 62 years old and a retired police officer. This film is absolutely top class. To date I've seen it about 70-80 times and I'm still discovering important things. Especially in my job, you shouldn't trust first impressions. Very often the result was completely different than when the investigation began. No human being, I repeat no human being, is free from prejudices, prejudgments and a sometimes limited view of things and people. You give some people who you like more freedom than others, thereby blocking your own neutrality, which is actually required. This film contributed, along with other things, straighten your head and keep it straight. A father, constantly giving the moral apostle, would have let the boy go to the "electric chair" just to "educate" his son. Only very slowly does he begin to understand that he has failed disastrously in his upbringing. It happened between me and my sons, like with my friends, never any physical altercations. The racist tried my patience to the limit. Another buys tickets to a baseball game, knowing full well that he will be a juror that day. Unbelievable behavior. Without No. 8, the boy would have gone to death row. There is so much more that could be talked about. As I said, absolutely top class and a milestone in film history. Everyone can use it to evaluate their own behavior.

Those old hand driers were cloth and had two rolls inside, one of clean cloth and one to roll up the used cloth when fresh cloth was pulled out. When it got to the end you sent it to a laundry service.

One of the greatest courtroom drama ever made.

Juror #10's diatribe starts with him saying he's lived among them (slum folks) all my life. It took a few times for me to catch that he lives in the same " bad neighborhood" as the people he's vilifying. All the condemnation he keeps spouting is to make himself feel superior to his own peers. Narcissists do this to make themselves more important. A quick way to make himself virtuos by amplify the lack in others.

Now on to "Harvey" for fun and "Rope" for creepy suspense. Good reaction. BTW the towel in the bathroom was sanitized cloth on a very long roll. The dirty towel was wound up on a different roll.

Looking around this jury table, I see 12 well established actors (some were also directors, producers, songwriters). So many winners & nominees of awards... and one who voiced Piglet from my childhood. Each knew the craft well. Besides, iirc this was a successful stage play a few years earlier.

It's just a jewel box of acting, dialogue, and plot.

Stellar performances by the entire cast

The filming in this was fabulous. the tension was surmountable and the fact that there was no music until the last scene when he's walking down the stairs is incredible. All the tention was built with was acting alone and nothing else. A timeless masterpiece.

Old classic films are an acquired taste. The more you watch them, the more you appreciate them.

I love how you are in black and white in this... :)

Sidney Lumet is a great director. Network, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, and Murder on the Orient Express all great films. I loved your remark about the egg and the omelet cooking.❤

Not a paper towel. It's a roll of cloth towels that is rolled up after it's used. When the clean towels finish, you can't use it until the towel roll is replaced. A company replaces the rolls, launders them and reuses them.

Lee J cobb’s performance was superb, great dialogue an movie masterpiece, try Sleuth 1974 great story too

This is one of the best movies ever made. One amazing thing about this movie is that people are so invested in the drama in the jury room and the Not Guilty verdict, they forget what it means. Either the kid did murder his father and got away with it or the person who did it was not caught.

The cotton bathroom towels are pulled out to reveal a new clean section each time.

Sidney Lumet's first picture as director. He later made Dog Day Afternoon, The Verdict, Fail Safe, Network and The Pawnbroker, to name a few. Brilliant screenplay by Reginald Rose, a veritable who's who of character actors. Compelling drama. Rightfully a classic film.

Joseph Sweeney, the oldest juror, was born in 1884. So his father grew up during the Civil War. Our parents (or grandparents) grew up during Sweeney's final years. So we are just 2 or 3 generations away from the Civil War. And just 3 or 4 generations away from the Revolutionary War as many of the Civil War generals had fathers who fought in 1776. Juror 2 was the voice of Piglet. The bigot was Ed Begley Jr's father. The director, Lumet, locked the actors in a room and had them run lines for hours to ramp up the tension. Great and timeless film. 😊

Agreed, this is a timeless masterpiece of cinema. Everything was on point from the script to the acting to the camera angles and close ups. Even the set design. The walls were slowly moved inward during the film to give a claustrophobic feel as their tension intensified.

Exceptional movie and excellent reaction! I never thought about the "changed perspective" angle of the jury room at the end, great catch. If you want more Classic Hollywood, it'd be great to get some Alfred Hitchcock on the channel like Rear Window (1954), Rebecca (1940), Rope (1948), Vertigo (1958), and North by Northwest (1959). All of them really creative and well done masterpieces, and two (Rear Window and Rope) take place in just one room like 12 Angry Men does.

Paul Winkle, who says the boy is definitely guilty, has been saying to me for months that the knife fight in "Rebel Without a Cause" is a crusher for the defense. But it's not, at all. Anyone can watch the "Rebel Without A Cause" knife-fight scene on KZfaq. The best video is titled "Rebel Without a Cause (1955) - The Knife Fight Scene (5/10) | Movieclips" and the channel is Movieclips. 1) During the knife fight scene, at least 13 stabs/jabs/thrusts are attempted with switchblades, and *all of them* are attempted with an "underhanded" motion/grip: that is, the way a switchblade knife should be used, not the way a normal knife would be. 2) From the beginning of the knife fight - from the first point where both fighters have their switchblades open (0:33) - to the end - (where the winner throws down his knife (2:02)), it lasts for 1:29 seconds, which is 89 seconds. There are 2 fighters with their knives open through nearly all of that, so I will multiply that by 2: switchblades are open for about 178 seconds. Of that time, only 1 fighter at any point holds his switchblade the wrong way - that is, the way a person would hold a normal knife - and that lasts for only about 5 seconds (1:25 to about 1:30). 5 seconds is less than 3% of the total time. To recap: 1) 100% of the 13+ stabs/jabs/thrusts are done the correct way for a switchblade. 2) For less then 3% of the time is a switchblade held the wrong way (i.e., the way a normal knife would be held), and no stab/jab/thrust is done with it when held the wrong way. THIS IS PAUL'S CRUSHING EVIDENCE, THAT OBLITERATES THE DEFENSE!! PROOF THAT THE BOY IS GUILTY!! THE CRUSHER THAT HE'S BEEN YELLING ABOUT FOR MONTHS!! LOL!!!

A lot of the actors were already big stars and there were some up and coming stars. Just an amazing movie.

The guy in the suit with the bead of sweat was EG Marshall. You watched him before as the surly grandpa (father in law) of Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Excellent reaction Anatomy of a Murder 1959( with James Stewart and George C Scott) is also a great movie 😊😊😊

This movie has been a favorite of mine for a long time. It demonstrates how quickly people rush to judgement, and also how, if taken the time to open your mind, you can see what you previously (with a closed mind) couldn't see. I love watching your reaction videos. You are very interactive and insightful. I also love how you get into the spirit of the movie you're reacting to (black and white for this movie, sepia for the wizard of oz, etc.). I would love to see your reaction to my all-time favorite movie...A Raisin In The Sun (the original movie, with Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee). That movie has so many "life lessons" in it. I would love to see your insight into those lessons. Keep up the great work! You are a joy for me to watch!!!

12 Angry Men was written by Reginald Rose and started its life as a TV play in 1954 (live in these days). 1955 it went up on stage. Many believe that this version, the most famous, from 1957, also was produced for TV. This is a real feature film, low budget, but shot on a sound stage in Hollywood. The plot is set in New York City. It was produced by the legendary Henry Fonda, who also stars in the film. The director was Sidney Lumet. The cast is filled by Hollywood's elite, both young and old by this time. My favorite is Lee J. Cobb, Juror No. 3, the most angry one. A very fine actor both on stage and on film. Together with Fonda, he is the top cast. Funny thing about TV drama: Juror No. 12, the funny advertising man, played by Robert Webber. This was in 1957 and advertising was exploding. These men who worked in this business made a lot of fast money, apparently without effort. They were the internet people of the 1960s and they were called MAD MEN.

Henry Fonda’s Juror 8 is one of cinema’s greatest heroes.

Excellent reaction! You would really enjoy "HARVEY" with Jimmy Stewart. P. S. A very lovely hair style! As always GOD BLESS ALL HERE!!!!!!

Great reaction to a fantastic film. I have to make a comment about the bathroom scene. Quite a few reactors were put off by the towel being reused. The towels on those old dispensers were actually a very long roll. You would pull it down and the used portion rolled up in back so you dried your hands on fresh clean cloth. Once the roll was close to the end, a new roll was installed. It's not surprising that it would look unsanitary if you never actually used one. Anyway, thanks for a fun reaction video. Looking forward to more. Enjoy!

Awwww Cal... Haven't seen you for a while, and this was one of your best ever!!! I missed how you do your excellent impersonations of the characters along the way. This is one of my favorite films and thanks for your amazing reaction.

You really NAILED it! It's so good to see younger people such as yourself toss aside all the foolish bias against "old B&w" films and let themselves be pulled into a great, timeless drama such as this. I've known the film for 50 years, and you caught things I've never noticed....on your first time viewing it! Great Job. Two things: 1.) You mention the brilliance of Casblanca's script, yet it was being written (by the great Koch brothers) day-by-day, page-by-page, as the film was being shot; nobody..cast, director..knew how it would resolve itself at the end. All the more impressive an achievement. 2.) Three suggestions of great old films, all of them exploring the warmth and emotional depth of the character's relationship with one another: a.) A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1944) about family life in a NY tenement (1890's), with two superb performances by child actors and a heartbreaking-ly beautiful Christmas Eve scene b.) I Remember Mama (1948)..family life of Norwegian immigrants...it pulls you in from the very opening and never lets go c.) Captains Courageous (1937), possibly the king of them all. Since you have such a wonderful appreciation and knowledge of classic cinema, please try to see these three (whether you feature them on your channel or not).Each one of them will change/transform you emotionally. LR

I love your outfit you chose for this video. Looks very 50s inspired

A classic for all time...and really put Sidney Lumet on his path to becoming one of the greatest directors to ever make a film. So glad to see Californiablend react to this one, and I hope she will check out some of Lumet's other great movies, like Fail Safe and The Verdict and Dog Day Afternoon and Network and The Wiz...among others.

I was fortunate enough to be cast in a production of this play some years ago, We had a blast doing the show. Oddest thing I learned is that audiences will react with nervous laughter at the most intensely serious scenes. It was weird hearing people laugh at a serious drama.

This movie actually was a star turn for a lot of the actors in it. Maybe not Joseph Sweeney, but he played Juror 9 and was born in 1884.

This is an All Star cast if there ever was one. The actors in this classic play are are elite. Many of these actors have had movies and TV shows depend on their expertise. Amazing.

Just a timeless classic that ages like the finest of wines.

This is one of my favourite films. I love it. It doesn't matter if the boy is guilty or not. It is about the twelve angry men and justice. There is a reasonable doubt and they voted not guilty because of this.

The most touching and compassionate moment for me in this film is at the end when the Henry Fonda character (Davis) helps the other guy who was the last hold out for guilty with his jacket as they are leaving.

Such a pleasure to watch this with someone who knows the theatre, who has an eye for blocking....which is such a major strength of this movie. Hey, the director of this movie, Sidney Lumet, went on to direct tons of classics. This was his first one! Twenty years later, in the 70s, he directed two of the greatest ever, back to back: "Dog Day Afternoon" (true crime, young Al Pacino, amazing) and "Network" (wild satire of news media, amazing). Both super iconic, highly recommended. INCREDIBLE acting. In all of his films. He also did a really fun comedy-mystery from the 80s: "Deathtrap", which a theatre person like yourself would definitely appreciate! Anyways, as always, thank you for the reaction video!!! Loved it in black & white! :D

As a former public defender I approve this message. 👍 Also, the houndstooth, the hair, everything 🤌 to a “T”!

Actor Martin Balsam who plays the foreman of the jury is the actor who played the private detective, Arbogast in Psycho, which is definitely worth a reaction to if you haven't already.

I've seen this many times since I was a teenager in the 70s. I always see something new. The towel dispenser has two rollers inside. You pulled the clean cloth from the front and the back roller took up the soiled section. At least in theory. They were still around when I was a kid and finding one that wasn't jammed was a rarety.

They didn't have paper towels back in the day. They used cloth towels on rollers.

I didn't recognize you at first because I hadn't seen you since you changed your hair, you look great, I love your reactions, this is of course a classic, I saw it when it came out when I was a kid. So many great films of this time, check out "The Hustler" with Paul Newman, it's another classic. Peace of Christ.

Great reaction. You hit the hot spot about moviemaking. Old movies focus more on art.

You'd be amazed at how many incredible movies were made before 1970. Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) is an unbelievably witty and wicked black comedy featuring Alec Guinness as twelve murder victims. The Thief of Bagdad (1940) will blow your mind. Not only is it an incredible fantasy, but it's proof that amazing special effects were possible even back then. It's in color, by the way. Detective Story (1951) is almost entirely set in a single room, with an intensity of writing that will astonish you. It stars a young Kirk Douglas, and the topic is incredibly timely. The Third Man (1949) features some of the greatest writing, acting, cinematography, and music that has ever been seen in cinema. It's classic film noir that was far ahead of it's time. In the Heat of the Night (1967) is absolutely electrifying. It stars Sidney Poitier and you won't forget it. Let's see...there's The Great Escape, Frankenstein, Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, Casablanca, The Fly, To Kill A Mockingbird, Psycho, The Grapes of Wrath...they're all really worth watching. And not a bit of CGI in any of it!

There was a huge amount of acting talent in that room. Henry Fonda, the star, was the Tom Hanks of the 1940s, he played Everyman characters in films like _The Grapes of Wrath_ and _Fail-Safe_ . The rest of the cast were played by veteran character actors who I remember from many movies from this period.

The last shot representing the change of perspective we have witnessed is a very astute observation. I never thought of that and I´ve seen this movie countless times.

I really can't wait to see you watch "The GodFather." The use of angles and wardrobe throughout is a class in itself.

The simple fact of the movie making business, is that many of the absolute master works were not zillion dollar, epic, block-busters. Movies such as this could not have cost very much to make, yet they are absolutely timeless. This was made in 1957, in monochrome, with no surround sound and yet every new generation is awestruck by it. What has become of the art?

Double Indemnity (1944) It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) The Maltese Falcon (1941) Citizen Kane (1941) Perry Mason (1957-1966 TV series)

10:25 It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one of those machines. The towel (not paper) is longer than it looks, though it’s not super long (I’m guessing 3-6 feet), and it’s on a roller system that rotates it around, with each consecutive use. So yes, back in the day, everyone would be using the same towel, probably not washed very often, but only drying off freshly washed faces/hands, and on a loop, so you’re only using the same part of the towel as the person who used it 6 uses ago or whatever the actual number would be. It’s not the cleanest idea, but it is a great money and tree saver, and it’s not the grossest idea either. That award probably goes to the ancient Romans, for their genius forerunner of toilet paper, the “communal dry spongecloth on a stick, passed from wiping person to the next wiping person.” Actually, there are probably worse things. One idea that comes to mind is if someone uses “the poop knife” to make food. Look it up. That’s ten and a half laughs, minimum.

Great reaction. Good observation at 26:04 where you noticed that we now get a new perspective on the juror's room. I never noticed that before.

This was a classic. I liked how they developed the character of each juror. This was an all-star cast . I liked how Henry Fonda's character demanded an accounting of each juror's vote

New to your channel, subbed 🙂This film is 100% a masterpiece. IMDB has this consistently ranked as no.5 greatest film of all time (9.0 rating). And with good reason. The performances are all incredible, played by some of the finest character actors of their time. Lee J. Cobb's breakdown at the end is some of the finest acting I've ever seen (and I'm a 50 year old film buff, seen hundreds of films). The script is so on point, it's been used in psychology classes as an example of confirmation bias. A timeless cinematic classic. Look forward to more of your reactions 🙂

This is a top 5 movie for me, and this is my favorite reaction I've seen to it, because you don't just react to the plot or characters but you also give great perspective to the nuance of the structure and the cinematography and allegories of the set pieces.

You really can't beat these wonderful old classics. so many more to see.

I always wonder what these actors would think if you could show them these reactions videos from the future and watch younger generations getting their minds blown from work they've done years before decades after they've departed this world.

I've always loved this film!! I saw an interesting clip on a KZfaq channel called Indisputable which showed an interview with Jane Fonda, who is pushing 90 years old I think!! At one point she spoke about using the "n-word" in front of her father, Henry Fonda, who stars in this film!!! He proceeded to IMMEDIATELY slap her across the face and vehemently told her to NEVER EVER use that word!!! She said that THAT slap changed her life!!! And she also told about an incident that happened to her dad, Henry Fonda, when HE was a child!!! It seems that Henry Fonda's father took him to a lynching when he was a boy!!😮😮 It so severely affected him that he made movies such as THIS and OTHER movies showing the UGLINESS of racism!!!! Henry Fonda's performance in THIS film is magnificent!!!

There’s a brief moment where YOU the viewer become the 13th juror. It’s just after Henry Fonda (Juror 8) reveals the duplicate knife and after the shock he says it’s possible and stares straight into the camera and his eyes lock with your own and BAM you’re now a juror too.

B/W photography on you is shining amazing.

I was on a murder trial and it was made sure we knew NOT to vote guilty unless it was 💯 proven the person was guilty, and we were NOT to vote based on our opinions or assumptions. The manipulations lawyers tried to use (I'm a therapist) were so irritating and angering my notebook was full of their contradictions. We voted not guilty after a deliberation just like this. Great reaction and movie! My first time watching as well.

Great reaction to a brilliant golden years film. Nice to see people who don't just watch a movie, but appreciate the art of movie making. This one is just about perfect, and Lee J. Cobb RIP was phenomenal as usual.

The hero is the exceptional everyman, the common citizen doing his civic duty. There are no prizes for doing this. That is one of the reasons this movie is timeless.

Captured by your enthusiasm! Loved your reaction. Yes, this is an epic film. 1 room, for the most part, 12 [angry] men, and amazing dialogue. 😊

A powerful piece of film history. One of the 10 BEST films on my list.

I'm so glad you watched this; it's one of the best movies ever made.

Henry Fonda wanted this movie made so badly that he helped produce it, and never received his pay for making it.

The algorithm popped your channel back up again. I love your enthusiasm for the films, and how you pay attention to little details.

The scene when juror #10 made that explosive speech and everyone turned their backs on him is very powerful.

This is a perfect story to reflect on prejudices and preconceptions about others. Prejudiced people are often too certain of their preconceptions, and the ideia that the best way to deal with it is talk about it, but not to convince them but to make them think, is spot on in my opinion.

Another great courtroom drama from the period is To Kill A Mockingbird

I was born the year this movie came out. There are so many great movies from this Era. It's so nice to see younger folks open their minds to these classics. It's a great rabbit hole to enter. If I could suggest another from the same year. Witness For the Prosecution. Great reaction

“The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself” ― William Faulkner

You did not appear to recognize the meek Juror # 2, but if you've watched any Winnie the Pooh movies made from 1968 to 2005, you've likely heard his voice as Piglet. The actor is John Fiedler. Hopefully one day you'll see "A Raisin in the Sun," where he plays a very un-Piglet like character.

20:15 I’ve seen this movie a billion times! And I’ve NEVER caught that bead of sweat on the guy who never sweats! lol PS: loving your channel! Glad I stumbled across it

Great film. Wonderful reaction. It was the golden age, so many "quiet" highlights that make it.

Such a great film! Aside from a brief look at the defendant at the beginning, all we know about the case is what the jury tells us in the deliberation room. We, the audience, become the jury for the jurors. I think one thing that keeps the film going is how every switch from "guilty" to "not guilty" is a minor victory. No special effects and minimal sets, but still, this film stands the test of time -- over 2/3 of a century later it still holds up and is as relevant as ever.

Back in the day, a long time ago, when I was a kid, most public restrooms had the same device like in the film for drying your hands. It was cloth. You pulled down on the towel and a clean, sanitized portion would come out. The dirty portion would go into a roll in the back of the device.

I watch a lot of reactions. I’m an old guy. I think you’ve done an excellent job of getting it. It’s the story. It’s not visual effects that make a great movie. Also, some great acting. Thanks.

The remake from the late 1990’s with Jack Lemmon and Geo. C. Scott was also very good. I recommend it.

I think Juror #4 (I don't sweat guy) us my favorite character because he stuck to his position, until shown proof to the contrary, then acknowledging the new information changed his view based on logic and reason. Even Juror #* (The good guy) said at the begining he was mostly going by emotion. Also fun fact Juror #2 (The meek one) is actuallky the voice actor for Piglet on Winnie the Pooh.

Haven’t seen you before, but, I wanted to say, I really appreciate your critique of this film & you mentioned something I often say to my child. I just want a good story. One that doesn’t need a huge cast or special effects. A great story with a small cast is so much more intimate, it draws you in, you feel emotionally involved. Anyway, great review, thanks

Like you said, the last two in the room were the two who stood 11 - 1, but they are polar opposites. The thing for me was the way Henry Fonda helped the other man with his coat. He showed civility to the person he was just at odds with... we need more of that. Also, the towel dispenser in the bathroom; that box has a supply reel and a take-up reel. You pull down on it to get a fresh area of the cloth. When the roll is all on the take-up reel, it is replaced. Those were commonplace up through the '80s, into the '90s.

I like your reaction. Thank you. If you want to see another old movie but is in color, try Father Goose starring Cary Grant. It's set in WWII where a man is stationed in the Pacific on a remote island to spot war planes and report. When he arrives, he finds a woman and eight young school children. It's a comedy as he tries to figure out how to do his job and take of the children which he has no idea as he's a bachelor. Another good Cary Grant film is His Girl Friday referencing the Robinson Cruisoe book. Grant plays a newspaper owner managing his reporters. One is a female reporter investigating the trial of a murderer. It's also a comedy not with jokes but with dialogue as the two argue.

Great Reaction to this Classic...... Nice Hairdo and Outfit........ I saw this Presented Muliple Times as a play in High School (Early 1980's)....... Shout out to the Legends in this Movie...... Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, Jack Klugman, Martin Balsam, E.G. Marshall, Jack Warden, Ed Begley Director Lumet wrote in an article: "I shot the first third of the movie above eye level, shot the second third at eye level, and the last third from below eye level. In that way, toward the end, the ceiling began to appear. Not only were the walls closing in, the ceiling was as well. The sense of increasing claustrophobia did a lot to raise the tension of the last part of the movie." The kid not remembering the films is a believable statement. Movie houses weren't multi-screen when this movie was made. A cinema showed one or two movies so in the evening you could buy a double feature ticket without ever asking the name of the films. An angry kid wanting to get out of the summer heat buys a double feature ticket and spends the time stewing in anger paying no attention to the films is quite believable.

The old classic black and white Golden Age Of Hollywood movies are some of the best movies ever made. Plus, just the way they look are works of art all by themselves. Throw in some of the world's best ever screenwriters in charge of the storylines and a little of Old Hollywood glamor and you have magic. Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity, Citizen Kane, The Thin Man, The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, and on and on and on. It's so great to see a young person such as yourself enjoying the artistry of the great classics.

Henry Fonda was a wonderful actor. Did you know he and Jimmy Steward roomed together as fledgling actors in the early 1930s. The plot was excellent. A good storyline and character development is all important to an excellent film. I appreciated your insights. I have watched other reactors viewing this movie. But your observations were the best.

"12 Angry Men" is maybe the most influential movie ever made, along with being one of the very best. Great Job!

Excellent reaction and I love your appreciation of Classic Era movies. If you are talking about laying story eggs and seeing them crack, you would love Billy Wilder's THE APARTMENT, 1960'S Best Picture Oscar winner, with its superlative screenplay filled with such eggs. And how they hatch!
